Biodiversity impact from the building industry value chain (BBV)
Biodiversity is vital to healthy ecosystems and human well-being — and the building industry leaves a significant mark on it. To reduce this impact, we need a way of assessing and measuring it.
The BBV-project has developed a method and tool for measuring impacts, paving the way for a future industry standard, and offers practical solutions for industry players to reduce the harm.

Nature on the Agenda for Danish Municipalities
Nature Restoration Through Tourism
Danish Coastal and Nature Tourism (DKNT) and Upstream Partners have published a new international case catalogue showcasing how nature restoration and local development can go hand in hand with sustainable tourism.
With large areas of Danish farmland set to be converted into nature, the catalogue offers inspiration on how multifunctional land use and nature-based tourism can create new business models, restore ecosystems, strengthen biodiversity, and generate local jobs.
Aimed at municipalities, destination organisations, developers and investors, the catalogue provides practical insights on how to connect tourism, nature and business in new and regenerative ways.
nature perception report 2025
In the summer of 2025 we studied Danes’ nature perception for the Planetary Responsorbility Foundation. The purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of how Danes understand and value nature – as well as how they relate to their behavior towards nature, and attitudes towards who bears responsibility for the state of nature in Denmark and globally.

on site biodiversity impact of the building industry
Together with consultants at Oiko, Upstream Partners has explored, analyzed, and reported the potential of implementing the regulatory framework, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) in Denmark. The BNG framework was implemented in England, 2024, and the goal is to ensure that habitats for wild species are left in measurably better state after the completion of construction or development projects.
The report is published by Planetary Responsorbility Foundation and Green Finance Institute.
